Indicates the transaction has not been approved yet by your supervisor. Click on the ? next to the transaction you would like to view
Management of receipts A receipt image is required for every transaction If no receipt is available, an Affidavit of Missing Receipt is required to be completed, scanned, and uploaded for the respective transaction Multiple receipts supporting several transactions can be attached to one page and indexed to each of the transactions
IntelliLink Guide – Receipt Images Within the IntelliLink website, Cardholders have the ability to attach receipt images to transactions. There are two options available to get the receipt image into the website to link to a transaction: Manual upload (uploading a scanned image by browsing your computer or shared drive) Upload via email (emailing an image file from either a computer or smartphone to a unique email address set up for your IntelliLink user ID)
Linking a receipt to a single transaction You can attach a receipt to a single transaction by logging into IntelliLink, where you will then locate the transaction via “Account Statements”. Click on the allocation icon, which is the first icon to the right of the transaction, as shown below.
This will bring up the transaction details window This will bring up the transaction details window. On the “Coding” tab, click on the paper-clip icon at the bottom-right to attach a receipt to this transaction.
This will bring up the “Image Linking” screen This will bring up the “Image Linking” screen. You can click on the Upload button to browse for an image file on your computer or a shared drive.
If you have any images that have previously been emailed/uploaded, you can search for them by opening the Filters option on the right. You can search for images already linked and those that are available to be linked
If you click on “Upload via Email”, you will see the unique email address where you can send image files to your IntelliLink image library. If you have a smartphone, you may prefer to save this unique email address as a contact so that you can send photos of receipts to your IntelliLink image library.
A manually uploaded image will be automatically linked to the transaction.
If, instead, you use an image that is already within your image library, you can click on the image, then click on the “Link” button. Clicking on the thumbnail will allow you to zoom in on the receipt image.
The options on the top-right will allow you to toggle between images that are already linked to transactions in the list, or to the image library to see all images. You can also use the Filters option to find images. Click on an image to select it, where you will then see the “Manage Receipt Links” button.
When the image is linked, you can close out the “Image Linking” window When the image is linked, you can close out the “Image Linking” window. The paper clip icon will turn green to indicate that it has a linked image.
Linking single image to multiple transactions Employees are also able to link a single image to multiple transactions. On the screen listing your transactions (within either Account Statements or Cash Expenses), click on the “Manage Receipt Images” link on the bottom-right.
You can now use the checkboxes to link this image to multiple transactions. This may be useful if you have scanned multiple receipts into a single PDF file, for example.
Retention of Receipts Unless required by the terms of a funding grant, once linked electronically to a transaction, receipts can be discarded
The maximum file size for a single image is approximately 5 MB The maximum file size for a single image is approximately 5 MB. The maximum overall size of attachments to a single image email is approximately 20 MB. Emails have a minimum file size of 2 KB, which allows the system to ignore email signature images. The following file formats are accepted: GIF, JPG, JPEG, TIF, PNG, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX and PDF.
Changing FOP Codes This step only applies to cards that are tied to multiple FOPs. Use these buttons to find the other allowed FOPs Fund Org Fund Acct Prog All cards will be tied to a default FOP and all transactions will be charged to that FOP, however, some Cardholders will have cards tied to multiple FOPs. If that is the case, the Cardholder can make changes, redirecting the transaction to the desired FOP.
Adding a Business Purpose Fund Org Fund Acct Prog The default information provided by VISA is inadequate for business purpose. You MUST provide additional detail. Once all of the segments have been coded complete the Narrative Details with a business purpose (reason for the purchase: who, what, when, where, why). When finished click Save to complete the allocation of the transaction. The business purpose MUST show the transaction as both Necessary and Reasonable.
Documenting Business Purpose A business purpose must be documented to support each transaction It must clearly describe the transaction as both necessary and reasonable The documented business purpose must address the: “who; what; where; when; and why” of the transaction.
Why is a complete business purpose important? If a transaction isn’t documented with a clear business purpose that clearly identifies it as a purchase that benefits IIT, it can be interpreted as a personal purchase, unallowable under IIT policy and classified as taxable compensation for the Cardholder.
Clear and defensible statements of business purpose Think of 5 Ws: Who; What; When; Where; Why Instead of “Bought Lunch” describe: Bought lunch (What) for visiting students (Who) participating on Mies Campus (Where) math competition (Why) on November 8th (When). Business purpose is a transaction that is both “Necessary and Reasonable” in the eyes of the IRS You must document the business purpose to establish that it is not a personal purchase and therefore not compensation that would be taxable to you, personally.
Examples of Documented Business Purpose #1 UNACCEPTABLE -“Sandwiches for lunch” ACCEPTABLE- “Lunch (what) for the visiting high school students(who) attending career day (why) held Nov. 4th (when) on the Mies Campus (where)”
Examples of Documented Business Purpose #2 UNACCEPTABLE -“office supplies” ACCEPTABLE- “Monthly order (when) of office supplies (what) to replenish the Controller’s Office supply cabinet (where) for general department use (who)
Approval Rights Only the Administrator can assign an approval level
Approval Hierarchy Ultimately, the Cardholder’s immediate supervisor is responsible for reviewing the transactions a Cardholder has made.
Approval Process Once statements have been reviewed, receipts attached, business purpose documented, and budget account verified; Cardholder approves each transaction for review by their Direct Supervisor.
Approval Hierarchy Framework-Faculty Faculty to Chair Chair to Dean Dean to Provost
Approval Hierarchy Framework – Staff Staff to Immediate Supervisor Department Head to Vice President Vice President to CFO CFO to President
Consequences for Non-Compliance All transactions must be reconciled and submitted for Manager review and approval with in one month of the end of the billing cycle The Administrator will run monthly reports to determine timely completion of reconciliations Accounts not in compliance with reconciliation requirement will be suspended Repeated evidence of missing receipts will lead to suspension of the card Repeated suspensions or delay of submission to Managers are also performance matters requiring the involvement of the Cardholder’s direct supervisor
Difference between Approval Level and Manager Level The workflow set up for each Cardholder determines how transactions are routed for review A Cardholder is automatically given the Approval 1 level so they can approve their completion of documentation for their own transactions The Cardholder’s immediate supervisor is designated as Manager 1 and given Approval level 2
Approval Levels Are assigned by the Administrator All Cardholders have approval rights as Approver 1 which are required for them to submit their transactions to the next level approver for review. Approver level 2 is assigned to the Cardholder’s direct supervisor who is also designated Manager 1 Approver level 2 will typically be the cardholder’s department Budget Manager who is designated Manager 2 Additional levels of approval can be authorized, but the audited approval process will review approvals at the Manager 2 level only
